The Tutorial Round-a-Bout

While I admire the altruistic natures of those who provide tutorials in an endeavour to share learning, there are huge discrepancies between instructional quality. Some people are natural teachers and have the ability to backpace so it is possible for them to remember what it was like to be a novice in any field. One strategy that I think is imperative when designing a tutorial, particularly for a novice, is to assume they have no knowledge of the subject. Those who have greater knowledge can skip out steps but there will be scaffolding provided for those who are attempting to negotiate the learning minefield. Another helpful strategy is to include components which suit visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learners.

Never Enough

Discovered a great site today - as if I need any more articles to read !!!!  I've just returned from a trip down the South Coast and have so many images to peruse, cull and process that I know I will soon sink beneath the deluge. However, one can never have too much knowledge and Photographylife is a good site.

Alex Wise's Blog:
Here I go again - another really informative site about long exposures. I've also added this link to 'turorials' as I was worried I may not be able to find it again :-) A handy hint I picked up from Alex Wise was to slow down the exposure when photographing fog to increase the effect.  Another beauty on AEB and another on ND Filters.
